Texty: Sarah Slean. The Baroness. Shadowland.

I have been to the shadowland
I heard the empty call
The hatred anorexia
Misery and alcohol
By their hearths I warmed myself
To escape from the winter years
until I saw in the window myself
crying fire coloured tears

Love the only alchemy
Love the killer of despair
Love the patient samurai
Love the armour angles wear
Love

They turned away the prophet
Because she was young and full of longing
Instead they turned to the magistrate
Who was busying yawning


And they tried the sell me holy books
And I can see their eyes are wild
I caught them boring shame and fear
Into the perfect vessel of a child

But, love is the only alchemy
Love the killer of despair
Love the true nobility
Love the armour angles wear
Love

Love will make your eyes clear
The order of the universe
The only reason we are here
